We happily stayed at this hotel 6 years ago and the front desk was extremely helpful. Person we dealt with at check-in was not. Asked about a restaurant we had liked, told it probably wasn't there anymore. Asked for suggestions, told to turn left out of hotel, go down a few blocks, "there are a lot of restaurants." There was no menu for hotel restaurant in our room, no price list for mini-bar, no room service menu, no instructions for TV. Went back to desk, same person, she acted like these aren't typical forms to be found in hotel rooms and directed me to the hotel restaurant "if I wanted to see a menu". I was then able to get a room service menu, had dinner - the tray was still outside our door when we checked out the next day.

Train station hotel.
The hotel had such great reviews, I was expecting a lot. It didn’t start off well when I arrived at 4:45pm and my room wasn’t available. The front desk staff apologized and provided a drink at the bar. Very nice, but really not acceptable. The room was clean, but very simple, and showing signs of wear. Also, this was a non-smoking room, but it still smelled like smoke. It wasn’t super strong, but as a non-smoker it definitely smells. So, if you are sensitive to that, you might look elsewhere. The area around the hotel is typical train station. Didn’t feel unsafe, but a little rough.

Excellent hotel directly in front of the central train station. This hotel is very clean and comfortable. There is a great restaurant and the breakfast option is exceptional. I would highly recommend and return to this property.
